We went for Irish brunch, we forgot to make a reservation, no problem we were seated quickly & service was spot on. Buffet style breakfast foods & of course corned beef. Would definitely go again & hope to make it back soon.
Finally! Some darn good onion rings! Ordered ahead of time over the phone, which was a task and a half. At first I thought they were so busy no one could answer the phone, but I think I figured out what happened after having actually gotten to the restaurant. The restaurant is actually, officially, closed for the season as of October 30th according to a paper taped to the door to the place. I was only able to order take out when I called the Pro Shop, and the guy there actually took my order. That was cool. Went with an order of a Caesar Salad, the basket of Onion Rings, and the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. The total came to a little over 40, which is a bit pricy, but this is a golf course so that's *ahem* par for the course. Heh. When I got home and opened it all up I was impressed with the visual quality, looked great, but the real test was the taste. Well the onion rings were phenomenal. Perfectly crispy, abundant flavor, and that horseradish dip that came with them paired so well. And that's coming from a guy who doesn't like horseradish typically. The salad was equally fantastic, every bit of it coated with just enough dressing, a light sprinkling of cheese, and the homemade croutons kept their crunchy-ness despite the trip home. And then the main course, the sandwich. Well it was exactly what it said it would be, a chicken parmesan between two buns. A thin spread of marinara sauce, two chicken patties, with some great buns that really held onto the fillings. The accompanying fries were alright, but the sandwich was the real deal. Overall I was throughly happy with my purchase, especially those onion rings, man, they were so good. Great job Cooley Kill, you get my thumbs up.
Had 5:30 reservation, they were out of one of their steaks,BUT did do an upgrade to 10 Oz filet @ no extra charge. Excellent smashed sweet potatoes & the asparagus was cooked perfectly!! My 8 Oz filet was done med rare per my request. You aren't rushed at all. Will try some other specials.
Great food and service here. Also, bring your golf clubs and enjoy their simulators before you eat.
Great location for large gatherings.
The food tasted great. The manager was very attentive to all the tables. And the servers were on point. Will return for the prime rib night again soon.
Our first time here! Service is amazing and the food is even better. Pictured is the arancini appetizer, risotto and mozzarella then fried and served with a tomato cream sauce. Decadent is a good word to describe it. We ordered the sirloins and the sear was mmmmm. Grilled asparagus was cooked perfectly I was shocked. Definitely will return and maybe even become members of the golf course
Had a WONDERFUL TIME this past weekend for my wedding. The staff was absolutely perfect during the wedding. Kim and her team made our special day effortless and the planning process simple and stress free!! The food was AMAZING!! Their chef knocked it out of the park!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
